I enjoy a large tarp also. When on a bike trip and never knowing what kind of weather may be encountered its nice to be able to keep things dry. The Kelty 12 with the right set up can keep the hammock dry and most of the weather off the bike and still allow for a dry spot for a couple of chairs to visit with friends.

i've had my eye set on the 15x15 for group canoe camping in the rain forest otherwise known as the Adirondacks. These appear to really be the ticket, note the loops spaced along all the interior seams. Allows you to configure them in a number of ways securely. 2lbs 8oz but many smaller and lighter. a bit of $$$$, but I've looked into buying the fabric to make my own ,and for the small amount i would need, the price breaks mean it would be about the same.

I have three in college, so I have to figure a way to sneak one...lol.
